Liverpool\u2019s potential transfer business is exciting supporters as the Premier League season enters it\u2019s final weeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reds fans should not wish those weeks away, with their club in line to pick up a 20th English league title once the curtain closes on the 2024\/25 campaign.<\/p>\n

But while it is set to be a memorable April and May for Liverpool<\/a> supporters, further excitement could follow in June, July and August.<\/p>\n

Having been quiet across the last three transfer windows, Liverpool are set to be busy in the summer<\/a> of 2025. Plenty of action is anticipated.<\/p>\n

One of the areas where Arne Slot could do with dipping into the market to improve the Liverpool squad<\/a> is in terms of creativity.<\/p>\n

RB Leipzig\u2019s Xavi Simons<\/a> is certainly a player who could help with that and according to journalist David Lynch, he\u2019s one to watch this summer.<\/p>\n

Attacking midfield may not be the area in most desperate need of improvement at Liverpool this off-season, but it is certainly something that needs looking at.<\/p>\n

In that respect, links to Simons<\/a> have persisted and grown ever louder as the season has developed.<\/p>\n

And speaking to Anfield Index<\/a>, Lynch says that with 21-year-old \u2018nailed on\u2019 to leave Leipzig this summer, Liverpool are well and truly in the running to sign him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s defnitely a player Liverpool like, 100 per cent. He\u2019s on the radar,\u201d says the journalist. \u201cWhether that comes to something this summer depends on competition around him, whether they can fit him into the squad.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn attacking midfield there\u2019s Harvey Elliott, Dominik Szoboszlai. Left wing there\u2019s Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz. So, something\u2019s clearly got to give to make the case for signing him. But if it does \u2013 and there\u2019s real possibilities for that to happen \u2013 then I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll be high up the list, they definitely like him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe looks nailed on to move this summer,\u201d Lynch adds. \u201cIn terms of whether Liverpool act on their interest which is definitely there, there\u2019s got to be spots open up in the squad but they really do like him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who could make way for Simons?<\/p>\n

As things stand, there does not look to be room at Liverpool for Simons. But as Lynch mentions, that could soon change.<\/p>\n

Given their similarities in terms of profile, the player most likely to make way for the Dutchman\u2019s arrival is surely Harvey Elliott.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Elliott has been linked with an exit<\/a> and it is perhaps telling that Slot has been reluctant to turn to the 22-year-old much at all this season.<\/p>\n

Elliott can provide the creative spark that Liverpool have been sorely missing at times under Slot. But with the head coach not trusting him, a straight swap with Simons would probably be a net positive.<\/p>\n

For many supporters, it would feel strange to spend the money on Simons when Elliott is already right there. But sometimes the manager just does not fancy you. Maybe that\u2019s what\u2019s happening here. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool\u2019s potential transfer business is exciting supporters as the Premier League season enters it\u2019s final weeks.
